Text Msg Break Up

This poem is written in the format of the numbers I'd have to type to spell words on a numeric keypad on a cell phone. The > is an arrow key which indicates moving the cursor to the left. This may indicate a new letter in the event that you need to type two of the same letters in a row, such as in the word 'letter' where two 't's are required. It may also indicate a space between word. Try typing this out to find out what the text message is.

Audio Books and Video Games

I've decided that tonight I will play video games while listening to my newly purchase audio book. That way I can be lazy and productive at the same time! It's the best sort of multitasking there is in modern society, I'd say.

The video game of the night shall be "Crystal Defenders". I think it's from the Final Fantasy Series. It's a strategic game where one places archers, mages, fencers etc. in locations along a path where monsters march in a line towards your camp. If they reach your camp they will take one of your 20 crystals. I've already passed all four levels in World 1 and World 2. Now I'm on the final World 3.

The audio book I purchased from Chapter's is entitled The Camera My Mother Gave Me by Susanna Kaysen. It cost $1. The $1 sticker was placed over top of a $2 sticker, lol. I thought even though it couldn't sell at $2, it was possible that it might be a good book. Now that I open it, I see why it didn't sell. It's on CASSETTE! Any how, I only now read the description, and it is about sex, so I think it's worth a listen none the less.

Today's Lesson: Susanna Kayson has a bad marketing manager.

First Time Skier

For my birthday, my lovely friend Lori, purchased a group lesson and rental equipment. The group had a broad range starting from age 8 and up. At first I was worried that I would be the lone adult skiing with kids, but it was a good mix.

In fact, I did end up skiing mostly with the kids, because the adults were taking more time to learn, while the children and myself were ready to go onto the hill. They were quite talkative and ballzee.

I very much liked the attitude of the children. And they rocked at skiing too. It wasn't just naivety. They are actually quick learners. I did well on the bunny hill, but the slopes were steep and I did less well the there. The kids would say "finally you didn't fall" or "bye!" when they whizzed passed me when I fell.

Apparently, it's impossible to fall if you stand right. However, my natural instinct isn't to keep my centre of balance, but to flail backwards. This causes you to wipe out. I would so this especially when I felt as though I couldn't turn the way I wanted and sped down the hill.

All in all, it was a fun experience, and I can now go when some asks me to join them (as long as they wanna ski the easy hills :) )
